Queen Elizabeth Hospital Cath Lab

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): A supplementary, sir: was ambassador Keefe correct to say in her address to the council that the cath lab is no longer supported by the manufacturer?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:29): All I can do is reiterate what I have already said. I have no reason to believe that there are any issues with the cath lab or that it can't be continued to be used safely. I am sure if that was the case, then that would be brought to my attention, but that is not something that I have been made aware of. When I asked about this matter of my department, I have been assured that we can continue using the cath lab safely.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I give the Leader of the Opposition a lot of latitude as leader, but I wish he would interrupt a little less, especially when the minister, uncharacteristically, hasn't offered any provocation.
